Re: China Wall
Had a little time Saturday, this was close, so i ran it. This is a much different trail today than it was on the anniversary run. For starters, there appears to have been some heavy rains that have created some washouts and changed a few obstacles a bit.
The biggest difference is down by the creek. There is now one trail heading down the hill where there we were several routes to choose from. The FS has installed a lot of metal posts along the creek and are heading up the hill with them based on paint marks on the ground and the pile of materials sitting there. All of the picnic/camp spots are now behind the posts. Next will certainly come the cable to complete the fence work. The trail is now closed before going up the little hill to the circle where a small group could turn around, so there is little room to do so now. It would be best to turn around at the to of the hill right after the China Wall obstacle as there is plenty of room, especially in a group.
